The
Wind in the Willows was a stop-motion animated children's TV series
that ran for four seasons from 1984 to 1987 following a pilot TV movie
in 1983. It was followed by a TV movie "A Tale of Two Toads"
in 1988 and a fifth and final season that was renamed as "Oh. Mr
Toad" in 1989. All five series and the two films were made by Cosgrove
Hall for Thames Television and shown on ITV. In addition there was an
animated TV movie in 1995 and a live-action movie in 1996. A number
of TV tie-in children's books were published by Methuen Books under
their imprint of 'Thames Magnet' and at least one TV tie-in book was
published by Ladybird Books. Several of the stories were later reprinted
by various publishers though I only have the one St Michael version
of these. Buzz Books and World Books published ten children's books
based on the 1995 animated movie.
